The connection was quickly made, and Hu Xiaobei heard the sticky voice coming from the other end of the phone line, "May I ask if this is Mr. Hu Xiaobei?"

Melted!

The moment he heard that sticky voice, Hu Xiaobei felt as if he were melting!

"Hello, can you hear me speaking? I'm the host from our county's TV station, my name is Murong Qingqing!"

Upon hearing the other party introduce herself, Hu Xiaobei quickly came out of his excitement, and in that moment, he explained rapidly, "Yes! I can hear you; the signal was just a bit bad a moment ago!"

"Oh! I see, Mr. Hu, our TV station has a live broadcast program themed 'Harvest,' and we are planning to come over to your village to shoot. Would that be okay? Of course, we will pay a location fee!"

"No need for a location fee, I only have one condition, and that is for you to advertise our village as much as possible during the live broadcast. Can you do that?"

"Advertise?"

Hearing Murong Qingqing's puzzled question, Hu Xiaobei could imagine her slightly furrowed eyebrows, and then he explained very seriously, "Yes, advertise! Our village is planning to do some agritainment, so we want to take this opportunity of the live broadcast to build up our reputation!"

"I see, no problem then!"

Murong Qingqing quickly agreed upon understanding Hu Xiaobei's explanation!

In her view, since they were using Hu Xiaobei's location, it was only natural to help promote it...

Hearing Murong Qingqing agree so readily, Hu Xiaobei laughed and said, "Then it's a deal, oh and when will you be coming over?"

"I'll come over this afternoon to take a look around! If it's suitable, we'll start shooting tomorrow; if not, we'll have to change locations!"

"Okay!"

After hanging up the phone, Hu Xiaobei looked at the fruit-laden trees in the distance and muttered to himself, "You'll definitely be satisfied after you come!"

After saying that, Hu Xiaobei hummed a tune and went back home!

Once back in the yard, Hu Xiaobei looked at the cucumbers and various vegetables he had planted earlier...

Before they were planted, all these vegetables were watered with Nine Wood True Qi by Hu Xiaobei, so they were growing at an incredibly fast pace, only the quantity was a little less...

"Still not enough Nine Wood True Qi!"

Hu Xiaobei looked at the vegetables and sighed silently!

Hu Xiaobei now needed to use Nine Wood True Qi every day to catalyze medicinal herb seeds, so there wasn't much True Qi left. Because of this, Hu Xiaobei simply couldn't grow vegetables on a large scale...

"When will I be able to truly break through?"

Hu Xiaobei knew that once he broke through the first layer, the purity and quantity of Nine Wood True Qi would increase several-fold...

At that time, he would be able to cultivate more seeds, and it would be then that the village could truly get on the right track...

"Breaking through is really tough!"

After letting Nine Wood True Qi circulate in his body for another round, Hu Xiaobei sighed silently again.

He felt as if he was just missing an opportunity, but he knew that such an opportunity was really hard to come by!

Some people might even be trapped for their entire lives...

Hu Xiaobei didn't know if he too would be trapped for life, so he felt somewhat anxious!

While Hu Xiaobei was feeling anxious, in the newspaper office in the county town, the journalist named Zhao Datong was frantically fabricating various false news stories!

He now posted his so-called 'true experience' online...

He claimed that he had been illegally treated during his previous visit to Xiaohe Village...

Not only was he forced to pay a parking fee, but he also had to eat overpriced meals, and, in the end, he barely managed to leave alive...

When his report was posted on the Lake Water County forum, it caught the attention of many people!

After all, Zhao Datong did have some fans!

"Brother Zhao's new report is out!"

"Yeah, let's check it out quickly!"

"Right!"

All of Zhao Datong's fans received a notification from the system, and without hesitation, they opened it...

They knew that Zhao Datong was recently in charge of the 'Harvest' section, so they assumed this new article must be related to it!

But after opening it, they were all shocked...

They discovered it was a critical report!

Criticizing a place called Xiaohe Village...

"My God, are there still such villages nowadays? Forcing people to pay parking fees?"

"And overcharging and forced sales?"

"Blocking people from leaving? What... what kind of place is this!"

"Trouble always comes from difficult terrains!"

They fully understood the meaning of this saying now...

And just like that, all those people began to leave comments in the section, calling for a boycott against Xiaohe Village!

Seeing the boycott against Xiaohe Village growing, Zhao Datong laughed boisterously and scornfully said, "Hu Xiaobei, you idiot, this is what happens when you go against me. Now, with so many people boycotting, I want to see who would dare to visit your Xiaohe Village!"

While saying this, he hummed a little tune!

In his opinion, as a journalist, discrediting Hu Xiaobei was all too easy!

Thinking so, Zhao Datong took a sip of his tea and whispered smugly, "Soon, you'll be kneeling before me to apologize! If you can still withstand it, I'll keep posting; I have plenty of fans... oh, no, I mean I've got plenty of dogs that can go bite you!"

Other journalists or hosts would cherish their fans, but not Zhao Datong. He was an arrogant person!

In his view, since those fans chose to follow him, they were his dogs, thus he could command them casually...

"What... what's going on?"

Elsewhere, Qin Yalu, seeing so many people cursing Xiaohe Village, was furious to the extreme!

Although she had only visited once, she really had a good impression of Xiaohe Village, and so, she got mad right away!

The next moment, she carefully read and realized that the cause of all the cursing was Zhao Datong's article!

Curious about what Zhao Datong had written, she opened the article and after reading it, she trembled with rage!

"Forcing people to pay for parking? Overcharging and forced sales? Blocking people from leaving? This... this is all utter nonsense! How can Zhao Datong be so disgusting!"

While saying this, Qin Yalu stood up quickly, and, furious, she stormed straight to Zhao Datong's office!

When she got there, Qin Yalu didn't knock; she pushed the door open...
